Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of plastic waste in the environment, breaking down into micro- and nanoplastics, poses significant threats to ecosystem and human health. Plastic particles have been detected in human blood, urine, and placental tissue, indicating widespread exposure. While their long-term health impacts remain unclear, developing brains, especially in fetuses and children, may be vulnerable, potentially...
